10. IP54 – Water and Dust Protection
Definition:
Water splashes on to the enclosure from any direction must not have any harmful effects.
Test conditions:
The enclosure is tested by means of a spray head or a flushing pipe which is aimed at it from all sides according to the standardized testing time / volume flow.
Conditions for acceptance:
Should water have penetrated, it must not - be present in quantities which impair the good working order of the operating material or represent a safety hazard; - deposit on non-conducting parts where it could lead to creep currents; - come in contact with live parts or coils which are unsuitable for operating in wet conditions; - collect near the wire end or possibly penetrate the wire.
Dust
Definition:
Dust penetration is not prevented altogether, but dust must not enter in sufficient quantities to prevent the equipment from operating satisfactorily, or to impair safety.
Test conditions:
The test is carried out in a dust chamber in which talcum powder is being kept suspended in the air by means of a dust distributor or similar device. The enclosure which is being tested is placed in the test chamber while a vacuum pump keeps the pressure in the enclosure below the atmospheric pressure of the environment according to the standard.
Conditions for acceptance:
The protection is satisfactory if the inspection shows that talcum powder has not accumulated in places or in quantities in a way that could impair the good working order of the operating material or represent a safety hazard, regardless of the type of dust concerned.
